Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a regional superpower in the Middle East, thanks to the visionary leadership of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, along with their prudent economic policies. Saudi Arabia’s ambitious projects, including Vision 2030, Expo 2030, Neom, The Line, Mukaab, Logistics, and Tourism, underscore its relentless pursuit of development and progress. Even global superpowers recognize the pivotal role Saudi Arabia plays in maintaining global economic growth.
Saudi Arabia’s globally acclaimed humanitarian initiatives provide significant assistance to countries worldwide, totalling billions of dollars to support nations in times of need. Sri Lanka has been a beneficiary of this generous aid.
